Subject: watchdog/hardlockup: avoid large stack frames in watchdog_hardlockup_check()
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 07:00:43 -0700
After commit 77c12fc95980 ("watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to
watchdog_hardlockup_check()") we started storing a `struct cpumask` on the
stack in watchdog_hardlockup_check(). On systems with CONFIG_NR_CPUS set
to 8192 this takes up 1K on the stack. That triggers warnings with
`CONFIG_FRAME_WARN` set to 1024.
We'll use the new trigger_allbutcpu_cpu_backtrace() to avoid needing to
use a CPU mask at all.
